This is the crux of the issue that prevents anything from changing. By keeping the discussion suspended in a grey area, there's always the thought terminating well-ackshuallys.

We've been past the point where we're shackled by the sci-fi foretold system that nobody truly understands anymore.
He pretty much covered everything pretty well. One characteristic I've recently come to realise with the current state of affairs is such that people make assertions. The internet started off as a proverbial sailing off into the unknown seas to explore new worlds. People listened more than they spoke. When they came upon a new land they listened to the locals to learn about their ways.
Now people come upon a new land and start blasting. They may probe a little to find out who the locals are, and then proceed to tell them why their stupid and wrong and should feel bad about themselves.
